Title:
title
Approval of and authorization to purchase hardware and software from Presidio Network Systems to upgrade the core network at City Hall pursuant to the Oklahoma Statewide Purchasing Contract
End
Background:
The core network equipment serving the data center and computer network access at the City Hall are end of life and end of support. In the event of a failure, we would have no means of obtaining support or replacement hardware. In addition, due to the age of the equipment no security patching is available now or within the next few months.
The network equipment will be replaced with Cisco and Fortinet hardware and software through Presidio.
IT Project 2412030 - NETWORK ARCHITECTURE AND UPGRADES
This equipment will be purchased under Oklahoma Statewide Contract No. 1014.
Section 2-27 of the Broken Arrow Code addresses exceptions to the established competitive bidding process. It provides that supplies, materials, equipment, or contractual services when purchased at a price not exceeding a price set by the state purchasing agency or any other state agency authorized to regulate pricing for items purchased by the state are excepted from formal competitive bidding. Purchase from the state contract is, therefore, authorized under City ordinance.
Cost: $65,026.31
Funding Source: 2412030 Network Architecture and Upgraded
